> A healthy lifestyle improves outcomes pretty much regardless of genetics
to be able to afford a healthy life depends a lot on luck, much more than good DNA.
secondarily: modern western societies make it almost impossible for a large portion of the population to live such a lifestyle.
It's more probable than an African lives a healthy life style, even in poverty, than an American working 70 hours/week, with no paid holidays, trapped in stressful groundhog days in highly polluted cities.
That's why I never left my country, even though it costed me a lot monetarily wise.
> I suspect ignorance is bliss here as your post seems to be mostly weird stereotypes
these are just your prejudices talking
you haven't even presented a point, besides your beliefs, based on nothing.
Several African countries - you clearly know nothing about it - have a similar life expectancy than the US of A. Life expectancy in Mississippi is shorter than Morocco, for example despite a huge difference in wealth.
But they usually live a better life, with better food, stronger sense of community, less work hours, less pollution and a vastly superior culture and historical heritage.
If it wasn't for the western bombs, regime changes and wars waged using fake intelligence, they would never leave their countries for, say, Detroit, Bakersfield, Jackson etc etc
